Hello

Thanks for posting your query.

I can understand your concern.

There are many sunscreens available which are suitable in acne prone skin.

Neutrogena ultrasheer dry touch sunscreen is a good sunscreen for acne prone skin.

You could try that out.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Take care


Patient replied :

Thanks Doctor - I regularly use sunscreen but I was more interested in knowing what a good product would be after sun exposure to minimise the effects of it.

Hello

Thanks for your reply.

Calamine lotion would be best to be applied after a Sun exposure to give a cooling effect to the skin, however if there is a rash, it would be best to apply cortisone lotion.

Sunscreen would ideally prevent any ill effects caused by the sun.
